Respectfully Wayne, Shimming would work, but they'd be fiddly to keep in place.
I doubt that the displacement would be significant over .0035" per side.
I'd have to dig out my trig tables to calculate it, but a file would dress that pretty quick.
Another option would be to "Babbitt" the journals with solder and ream to size with a 3mm drill, not rocket science.
3mm I.D brass tubing would also work bedded in JB-Weld, (without the originals) I've restored carburettor shafts that way to pass emission tests. Just insert the lubed axles while it cures to maintain alignment.
It all boils down to what you're confident in doing.
